David Arquette's political backwood slasher The Tripper is a barely entertaining movie with a handful of well-known actors, a quaint killer, and quite a few heavy splatter scenes. Apparently, amateur film makers are not the only ones who go out to the woods with a couple of friends to make a little horror flick - hollywood stars are in for it, too.

In the USA, the movie was only released in a slightly longer Unrated version, while European countries (such as the UK or Germany) had to live with the shorter R-Rated version.

The Unrated version is a little different from the R-Rated version:
- 4 alternate scenes
- 2 additional scenes

UR: 13:21 | R: 12:56When Samantha gets attacked by her ex-boyfriend during the flashback there's a little difference during the transition back to the gas station: in the Unrated version you can make out the outlines of Samantha's and her ex-boyfriends faces.
No difference in time.

UR: 53:14 | R: 51:10When Gus pulls the Hillbilly's guts (who is trapped in the bear trap) the Unrated shows this longer and more explicit. In return, the beginning of the following scene is a little longer in the R-Rated version.
UR: 1.5s | R: 0.75s
